ideas needed

We are a local charity based in sheffield and we will be having a stall and have a chance to use this opertunity to raise some funds.
Does anyone have any ideas of games we could play to attract children to the stall and we could give them small prizes if they win?

Thank you

    I'll add some of my best suggestions in a tick, but it would be worth looking at this thread and this thread on the Charities board (we get a bit of crossover between the two!)

    If you are indoors, then either hoopla or a similar throwing game is worth considering if you know someone who can juggle - doesn't have to be that well! When DH was running the hoopla one year, whenever the stall was quiet he juggled with the hoops, and that always brought new business in. :wink:

    If you are outdoors, then the ideas on this thread are also worth looking at. May I particularly commend Olympic Balloon Throwing.

    My suggestions here are based on the fact that you want to attract children rather than make pots of money. If you ALSO want to make pots of money then nothing beats a toy tombola, IMO.
